Obama, so far, is on par with recent presidents in regards to executive orders with 144 over 4 years. GWB had 291 over 8 years, Clinton 364 in the same time, GHB had 166 over 4 years and Regan with 381 over his 8 years.

...he is also on the verge of being able to shape the court with activist jurists...the American public has no one to blame but themselves for letting it get this far

What was it that you did or did not do to cause this mess.? Assuming ytou are part of the american public.
I'm not being smart here. Just trying to understand why you continue to think its my fault.
I didn't vote for any of them and I'm talking decades.
I go to work every day so I don't have to burden society
I don't have time or the inclination to run for office or control someones life
The list is endless why its not my fault.
I guess I am guilty of letting them take my money so they can add fat to their bureaucracy.

Not picking on you, Brad, but the quantity of executive orders is irrelevant. It is the subject and content of those EOs that matter. I could give you extensive, long, and boring details about some of them as I along with many others, were responsible for implementing and complying with them. For example, check out EO 13514. It's a real doozie!

Circumventing congress to write widespread laws that apply to the entire nation will be difficult, if not impossible. However, EOs that pertain to federal government entities that go beyond congressional actions are common. They can place restrictions on federal agencies and force compulsory actions on federal agencies that are far more restrictive than the laws that apply to the public. Again, check out EO 13514. And that's just one example.
